In loving memory of Jimmie Don Hawkins, who peacefully passed away on May 13, 2024, in Friendswood, Texas. Jimmie was born on October 3, 1951, in Vivian, Louisiana to the late H.O.

After graduating from North Caddo High School in 1969, Jimmie embarked on a 47-year career in the oil and gas industry beginning in Shreveport, Louisiana and later relocating to the Houston area in 1987. It was there that he and his beloved wife Janette made their home in Friendswood, Texas.

Jimmie was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Janette, and his parents, H.O. "Hawk" and Jewel Hawkins of Vivian, Louisiana. He was also preceded in death by his three brothers: Milton (Billie Jo) of Shreveport, Louisiana, Charles (Ruth) of Lake Station, Indiana, and Jerry (Mary) of Savannah, Georgia.

Throughout his life, Jimmie found great joy in playing golf and snow skiing alongside Janette. He was a devout member of the Clear Lake Church of Christ.

Jimmie is survived by his loving daughter, Tracey Cook (Kevin), as well as his grandchildren Max Cook (Jacey) of Arizona and Brittany Veglia (Nick) and great-grandsons, Jaxon and Nixon all of Utah.

  1. My deepest condolences for Jimmie's family.

    It gives comfort knowing that Jimmie is at peace and can now be with his beloved wife Janette (our sister).
    Until we meet again 🙏 ✝️ 🙏

  2. Thank you for letting me get to know you Jimmie, even if just briefly. I appreciate the conversation, and just sitting with you in your garage watching the people go by. Rest easy.

    I got to know Jimmie originally through my wonderful friend Janette. You would never know what all he was going through with his treatments and not feeling up to par. He didn't complain; he just handled everything. He was always interested in my life as well as others. During our visits, we would bring each other up to date on people we mutually knew. We had many great Mexican and pizza lunches. During these last three years, I was also fortunate to get to know his beautiful and caring daughter, Tracey. Jimmie was such a good friend, and I am going to miss him.
